Bowman Platinum - Sampling The Goods

I broke my pledge to hoard my hobby money for THE NATIONAL and this week succumbed to the peer pressure - unspoken but oft written - that is 2011 Bowman Platinum. I grabbed a rack pack - is that right? Blister? Whatever. Three packs and some purple thingies.

Here are the results, not at all in the order I discovered them, but her nonetheless. A couple of these cards I want to keep; a couple I'm reserving to send as mini thank yous and the rest are up for trade if I can land Reds, Tigers, Cubs - or just other players I might want more. Make me an offer if you see some interesting cards.
This is a seriously sweet looking auto. But it is up for trade for any autos of Reds, Tigers or Cubs - or select other players, maybe. I'm just not a Twins guy - at least when it comes to baseball. *rimshot*

OK, enough commentary. More cards.


Plenty available up there. And, as long as he wants him, I'm almost certainly sending Holliday out to a trader who sent me a bounty of nice cards in my recent junk sale.
Starlin Castro: I haven't officially added him to my player collections, but I think I'll be doing so soon.

Random realization after looking at the Angels from these packs: I've yet to find an Angels trading friend.

I really like the look of the greens. I'm also a big fan of the two aces above. Definitely my favorite players on their teams. Below, for some reason I think Matt D. will amount to something at some point. That's it for now. On to the National!
